I already told you that I am not interested in Black Friday. The crowds are not worth the few discounted items that are sold out before the tenth person in line can get one. But I found out my little brother was going with his girlfriend to Walmart at 8pm for the start of the sale, so I figured I might see about getting that ipod touch I had my eye on. So I grabbed our German foreign exchange student, and hit the road! It’s a good cultural exchange to see Black Friday shopping right?
Turns out the crowd wasn’t the fist fighting, hair pulling mob that I’ve seen in videos on YouTube. There were only about fifteen people in line for the start of the ipod touch sale, and there were plenty left over for customers that arrived after the initial start of the sale. The lines were long but died down after about thirty minutes.
I came home to search for online deals, and the ones that weren’t sold out seemed to be good and hassle free! And everything has free shipping in the US, so it’s a good time for me to be home! I didn’t have a bad in-store Black Friday, but I will stick to shopping in my underwear at home.
I want hear from the die hard Black Friday shoppers. Are the sales worth the crowds and the wait? Do you pick one store or do you try to hit up lots of stores? Do you do it all just to see the chaos?
Thanks for the ipod Black Friday, but I was just passing through!
